چکیده

We report our recent progress on fabricating dehydrated tellurite glass fibers. Low OH content (1 ppm in weight) has been achieved in a new halogen-containing lead tellurite glass fiber. Low OH-induced attenuation of 10 dB/m has been confirmed in the range of 3–4 μm using three measurement methods. This shows the dehydrated halo-tellurite glass fiber is a promising candidate for nonlinear applications in a 2–5 μm region.

Tellurite glass fibers for mid-infrared nonlinear applications

In this chapter, we will review the progress of using tellurite glass nonlinear fibers for mid-infrared nonlinear applications in this chapter. First, we introduce various fabrication approaches for making conventional solid core/clad tellurite glass preforms and structured tellurite glass preforms. Second, two technical difficulties have been found during the early stage of using small-core te...

Raman soliton generation in microstructured tellurite fiber pumped by hybrid Erbium/Thulium fiber laser system

We demonstrate a fibre laser source generating ultrashort pulses tunable in the range 2-2.5 μm. The source is based on a hybrid Er/Tm fiber laser system and microstructured suspended-core tellurite fiber where Raman soliton shifting occurs. Nonlinear soliton dynamics is studied and possibility of tuning beyond 3 μm is shown.

On the possibility of mid-IR supercontinuum generation in As-Se-Te/As-S core/clad fibers with all-fiber femtosecond pump source

We propose and optimize theoretically a supercontinuum (SC) laser source in the mid-IR based on using As-SeTe/As-S core/clad step-index fibers and a femtosecond all-fiber laser system at 2 μm. Numerically simulated spectra extending from ~1 μm to more than 8 μm are demonstrated for pump energy of order 100 pJ in a fiber with a core diameter of 2 μm. To the best of our knowledge, the possibility...

Single-mode tellurite glass holey fiber with extremely large mode area for infrared nonlinear applications.

We report the fabrication of a large mode area tellurite holey fiber from an extruded preform, with a mode area of 3000microm(2). Robust single-mode guidance at 1.55microm was confirmed by both optical measurement and numerical simulation. The propagation loss was measured as 2.9dB/m at 1.55microm. A broad and flat supercontinuum from 0.9 to 2.5microm with 6mW output was obtained with a 9cm len...
